April 2009 will mark the 100th anniversary of the city of Tel Aviv. The Centennial is meant both to underscore Tel Aviv’s status as an international city and to highlight its vitality and accomplishments. Lying along a beautiful beach strip of the Mediterranean, Tel-Aviv is Israel’s largest city and biggest commercial center. It is a busy metropolis, which invigorates its visitors with a unique energetic atmosphere, fun entertainment venues, exotic markets, nonstop active nightlife, golden beaches, restaurants as well as museums, galleries, and theatres.
We very much look forward to your participation in WCCS 2009 and to welcoming you to Tel Aviv.
Yours sincerely,
Joseph Alcalay, MD
